When I sat down this afternoon to peruse the runway looks from last Friday's Luly Yang Couture Fashon Show, I was hoping to narrow down my favorites to a neat, tidy top five list. You’ll just have to indulge me with nine.

But first, let's see a few snaps of the décor and pre-show gallery of gowns (plus cute bottled cocktails) at Fremont Studios Friday evening:

After the always-emotional children’s fashion show (Luly crafted couture looks for five Seattle Children’s Hospital patients) and the always-lively client show (all-star looks sported by the lucky clients who own them), the couture show took center stage. The Monarch’s Tale theme flitted throughout the five distinct sets as the butterfly traveled the world: Grand Canyon; Bamboo Forest; Amazonia; Antartica; and a Celebration back home.

I will try to keep the “oohing” and “ahhing” to a minimum, but without further ado, here are my favorite looks of the evening, and why they stood out to me:

#9, Celebration set (below left): A dash of color, accented by pom pom puff shoes designed by Luly Yang herself

#8, Amazonia set (center): A gorgeous interpretation of a canary in dress form

#7, Grand Canyon set (right, courtesy of Team Photogenic): The layers and folds of this burnt orange confection are divine

#6, Antartica set (below left): This blingy muff would be the perfect addition to a winter wedding ensemble
